Under normal circumstances that would merely be an annoying inconvenience, but since the filesystem is supposed to be automounted I don't see how I should do that. How do people normally do this? A lot of people use extensive partitioning and mount the partitions automatically (from /etc/fstab). Does everyone chmod the permissions afterwards? Is it unreasonable to want an extra filesystem automounted owned by root:disk, so certain users can access it? ("Certain users" in this case merely means me, as this is for my home system, but I don't want to have to be root all the time in order to access the partition.)
